Ingredients

For the Streusel Topping

⅔ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup rolled oats
⅔ cup chopped walnuts
⅔ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the Blackberry Coffee Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup sugar
1 ¼ cup sour cream
½ cup neutral oil (like canola)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cup frozen Oregon blackberries or Marionberries, divided

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9″x13” baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the streusel ingredients and stir until they resemble coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 4
In another bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

Step 5
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the sour cream mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined. Fold in 1 cup of the blackberries, then scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter, then add the remaining berries.

Step 6
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cook for an hour before serving.
